I got the chance to do updated artwork of the Gem Dragons for the new book: Dungeons & Dragons The Book of Dragons. I worked waaay too hard on these, I'm extremely proud of them.

Polished off this old Venusaur I had sitting on my computer for longer than I care to admit. lol Fun project, I always have a good time with vegetation and creatures and Venusaur is the best of both worlds.

A fallen Liriodendrites occidentalis, a Cretaceous species related to our extant Tulip Trees (Magnoliaceae), is a rare treat for the relatively small Ceratopsian Turanoceratops, whos' fossils were found at the Bissekty Formation of Uzbekistan.

Check out this Bluesky exclusive: some of the #paleoart I've created for the upcoming PalaeoGames dinosaur tabletop roll playing book! We have tonnes of new art for this and have played most of it close to our chest. If you're nice to PalaeoGames Chief @palaeogames.bsky.social, he may tease more.
